“Teacher Leader, You Are Enough” Keynote, #TMC18

This summer, I was fortunate enough to be asked to give a keynote to the most brilliant and innovative math educators in this county, and beyond.

Of course I started it out as a pep rally (thanks Courtney and Sam), because that is who I truly am. My friends know me. TMC is NOT your typical math teacher conference! But then, I had to get serious, because I am very passionate about teaching, and I wanted to share what has been on my heart. However, I did not expect to make teachers cry. And I did not expect that their powerful responses to my talk would make me cry.

To all of the teachers out there, please remember that even on your worst days, YOU ARE ENOUGH. Also, please don’t disappear, we need you. We all need each other.
